Backlogs

One of the basic artifacts that scrum uses is the backlog. It is used as the Sprint Backlog to plan a Sprint, as the Product Backlog to keep track of all work in the Product and as the Impediment Backlog for the Scrum Master to keep track of impediments.But in the end it's just a prioritized list of items - and you can use that wherever you have a need for that.

After setting up the Scrum Team, you can define the Backlogs. Here you can see you how to define the Product Backlog and am Impediment Backlog. The Bug or Release Backlog can be configured in the same way.

In Agilo you can decide which columns your Backlogs shall have. If you like to use the Product Backlog at the Sprint Planning Meeting e.g you should choose the Column Sprint to be visible. There are quite some useful settings for the Backlogs, just try out what fits best to you.
